French Toast is one of my favorite foods, it’s so simple and always tastes great! Pancakes and Waffles are very sweet in general, even before you add syrup and/or powdered sugar (or whatever you like on your pancakes!). One of the reasons I like French Toast so much is that you can make it just as sweet as you like! Plus you can eat it without syrup if you want and you are basically just eating eggs and buttered toast!

This french toast is especially delicious because the Hubby made the bread from scratch! (you can find the recipe here: Homemade French Bread) it’s a really simple recipe, easy to follow and successful every time that we have tried it so far! (Which is a lot, in a lot of variations! I’m most excited to share our Blueberry Swirl bread with you, it’s A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!) I know what you’re thinking looking at all of these pictures, why are there so many pictures of the same thing in this post… The answer is… *shrugs* I like to look at them. Look at that melting butter and syrup mixing together, as I sit here with my mouth watering eating my bowl of rice………..

Okay, so while writing this post I definitely did not stop and go make french toast *wink wink*

I totally did.

Just saying, French Toast is a great choice no matter what time of day it is!

I mean, how could you look at that picture and not want to immediately go and make some?! If you CAN resist…………. You have much better willpower than I.

Lemon Garlic Parmesan Asparagus|This Is Why I’m Full

I love veggies, but it’s hard to find time to cook them sometimes, but with this Lemon Garlic Parmesan Asparagus I no longer have any excuse, this takes around 10-12 minutes to cook, and it’s so tasty I could eat it every day! Sometimes the Hubby has a hard time eating veggies, he isn’t the world’s biggest fan, but if I say the word Garlic he’s almost always down to eat a massive amount! I like my Asparagus just the tiniest bit overcooked, I like it to be on the softer side, but the good news about this recipe is that you can cook it to whatever level of done-ness you like best!

Zucchini Fritters | This Is Why I’m Full

We are actually making these Zucchini Fritters again tonight! During the summer months we have an excessive amount of Zucchini thanks to the Father-In-Law’s garden and that makes this wife very happy, I absolutely LOVE Zucchini. Anything we make with Zucchini automatically becomes one of my new favorite foods, and this recipe was a spur of the moment thing, we had all of the ingredients we needed on hand and we were trying to use up all of our Zucchini before it went bad.
The best part about these was how well they froze! We saved a bunch of them just to see how they did in the freezer, and we ended up putting them in some tacos, burritos, and ate them all week! You just drop them back into the fryer to get the crispiness back and yum!
Another great thing about these is that your picky eaters would have no idea that they were eating Zucchini, they hide the Green very well!

Cucumber Tomato and Onion Salad | This Is Why I’m Full

SUMMER IS COMING! Okay, not really, but it is January, and that means Spring is almost here, and with warmer temperatures on the way it’s almost time to bring out one of my favorite side dishes, this amazing Cucumber Tomato and Onion Salad. This delicious salad is crunchy and fresh, and goes well with almost any summer meal you can think of. It takes hardly any time to make, and very few ingredients and you have a wonderful and healthy side dish. We made ours with plain yogurt, I wanted to use sour cream, but we happened to be making a lot of smoothies when we made this salad, so we had plain yogurt on hand and so we used that! We actually made this three weeks in a row, and ate it with almost every dinner! It is a light and easy thing to make, it pairs well with any protein, hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken, anything you can think of!

Pizza Stuffed Waffles | This Is Why I’m Full

These Pizza Stuffed Waffles are so delicious and so easy to make! All you need is a waffle iron, a can of biscuits, some pepperoni and cheese. Sometimes you want pizza, but you don’t have time to make it from scratch and you don’t want to wait for delivery. So why make one of those frozen pizzas when you can satisfy your cravings with ease and less than $5?! I saw a recipe similar to this awhile back and we just had to try it! With both of us working 40+ hours a week it gets a little hard to find the energy and time to make food, and this delicious little recipe was a nice compromise between eating out and cooking from scratch! It has the taste of pizza without having to take the time to make/buy dough and it takes less than 5 minutes to cook! The hubby and I made them and they were so good that we made them 3 more times after that! So good!

Whiskey Candied Bacon | This Is Why I’m Full

I have the coolest sister in the whole world, because she made this delicious Whiskey Candied Bacon for the hubby for Christmas. Which means that I got to eat some (most) of it! And it was so delicious that we made it ourselves!!!! I don’t know if you have ever candied bacon before, and if you haven’t I warn you, it does take a little work and can get a tad bit messy, but the end result makes it worth all of the work you put into it! When you candy bacon it almost takes on a life of its own. The bacon transforms from a simple and delicious salty treat to a sweet, sticky and powerful meld of flavors you didn’t even know existed before. Any fat that was a part of the bacon before you bake it becomes crystallized melt-in-your-mouth goodness that will leave you wanting more! Candying bacon is easy, when you think about traveling through the rest of your life without this delicious treat, breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snack-time, second breakfast, teatime, elevensies, none of these meals would be the same without candied bacon. (sorry for the Lord of the Rings joke, I couldn’t, help it!) My sister used Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey to make this, but from what I read you can use really any whiskey and get the same result, you just might want to add some extra sugar to cut the bite of the whiskey! (unless you like the bite, only some people do) Let us know what you think of our Whiskey Candied Bacon and comment below with any questions/suggestions!

I am a huge snacker, I’m snack obsessed and though it doesn’t show much in our recipes the Hubby and I do like to eat well (and cheaply!) and that’s why I enjoyed these Garlic Loaded Roasted Almonds so much! They were crazy easy to make and even easier to eat! We made three different kinds of home-roasted almonds in one day and ate them all within a week! The recipes for the other two kinds that we made will be up soon, and they were also amazing but these Garlic Loaded Roasted Almonds will forever have my heart! The Hubby preferred the Sriracha Roasted Almonds that we made, but he likes spicy food more than I do! We also made Ranch Roasted Almonds that we good, but as far as I am concerned these were the best of the bunch!!

Chicken Salsa Pockets | This Is Why I’m Full

These Chicken Salsa Pockets are one of my more brilliant ideas, what’s better than a delicious and flavorful dinner all packed into puff pastry? Nothing! Easy to make and even easier to eat, I can’t wait to make them again with different fillings! I’m thinking about a week-long series just full of food stuffed inside of delicious pockets!

Chocolate Fudge Brownies|This Is Why I’m Full

I’m not really the hugest brownie fan, unlike my siblings I did not inherit that from my father, but these brownies may have changed my mind the tiniest bit. The hubby made these for us one night and I actually ate some! So delicious! I wish he had cooked them a little longer, I don’t really like the gooey texture, but he does so I let him leave them like that!
